Woodworking can be a very rewarding hobby. *The smile on someone's
face when you give them a handcrafted gift, or when you help friends
or family save money on a project. *And for me it may have literally
saved my butt. *Friends of mine purchased a home that is 33 steps
below the main street. *I was glad to help them move (again!) but was
concerned about making dozens of trips up and down the stairs as well
as the safety issue of not being able to see the stairs while carrying
bulky items. *I came up with a novel idea of making a sled to send
items down the stairs with. *I uploaded a video to youtube if you'd
like to see it in action.

Got a nice train like sound to it ...

Somebody Had to ride it down, got the video of that?


Lobby,
No, we didin't consider riding down the stairs with it-too hard on the
rear end. We did consider riding it down the street though but didn't
want to incur the wrath of his wife.....
